SSH:
RUCS will soon be abandoning Telnet in favor of the more secure SSH (Secure Shell). More information about this transition, and programs in which to use SSH, can be found at the following URL:

http://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/ssh/

This explanation will be based off the PuTTY program for the Windows operating system.

With PuTTY downloaded, run the program. You will be automatically opened to the main window. From here (which should be within in the main "Session" tab), enter in:

eden.rutgers.edu

... into the "Host Name" box in the upper-right, and hit "Open." You will be asked to enter in your Eden name and password (hit "enter" after each).

To create your "public_html" directory, enter in the following exactly as it is written (you will get no confirmation that anything has happened after entering these; that is normal):

mkdir public_html
chmod a+rx public_html

What you will now have done is first created your "public_html" directory, and then have set the permissions on it. You, the owner, are able to read, write, and execute from this folder (this includes renaming and deleting it entirely). Anonymous visitors (for example, anyone you simply give your URL to) may only read and execute data from this folder; they may not make any changes or alterations to it.

You can check the properties of your folder within PuTTY by entering in the following exactly as written:

ls -ld public_html

It should return to you that the permissions are set to:

drwxr-xr-x

If it does not, re-enter the command: chmod a+rx public_html

You are now free to use "public_html" directory as your main folder within your Eden storage space. Any files within "public_html" can be access at the following URL, where "username" is your Eden login:

http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~username
